Employees having higher ranking get a greater number of gifts than their neighbours. What is the minimum number of gifts required by company? Constraints 1 < T < 10 1 < N < 100000 1 < Rank < 10^9 Input First line contains integer T, denoting the number of testcases. For each testcases: First line contains integer N, denoting number of employees. Second line contains N space separated integers, denoting the rank of each employee. Output For each testcase print the number of minimum gifts required on new line. Time Limit 1 Examples Example 1 Input 2 5 1 2 1 5 2 2 1 2 Output 7 3 Explanation For testcase 1, adhering to rules mentioned above, Employee # 1 whose rank is 1 gets one gift Employee # 2 whose rank is 2 gets two gifts Employee # 3 whose rank is 1 gets one gift Employee # 4 whose rank is 5 gets two gifts Employee # 5 whose rank is 2 gets one gift Therefore, total gifts required is 1 + 2 + 1 + 2 + 1 = 7 Similarly, for testcase 2, adhering to rules mentioned above, Employee # 1 whose rank is 1 gets one gift Employee # 2 whose rank is 2 gets two gifts Therefore, total gifts required is 1 + 2 = 3

for i in range(t):
n=int(input())
l=list(map(int,input().split(' ')))
st='1 '*len(l)
m=list(map(int,st[:-1].split(' ')))
for i in range(0,n-1):
if l[i]>l[i+1] and m[i]<=m[i+1]:
m[i]=m[i]+1
for j in range(i,0):
if l[j-1]>l[j] and m[j-1]<=m[j]:
m[j-1]=m[j]+1;
else:
break
elif l[i]<l[i+1] and m[i+1]<=m[i]:
m[i+1]=m[i]+1
